The Group’s financial instruments presented in the consolidated statements of financial position included cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, a long-term loan receivable from GTAC as a part of the investment in this associate, non-current investments in publicly traded equity securities and in securities in the form of an open-ended fund, accounts payable, outstanding debt, lease liabilities, and derivative financial instruments. For cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and the current portion of long-term debt and lease liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the Group’s long-term debt securities is based on quoted market prices.

The fair value of long-term loans that the Group borrowed from leading Mexican banks (see Note 14), has been estimated using the borrowing rates currently available to the Group for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities. The fair value of non-current investments in financial instruments, and currency option and interest rate swap agreements were determined by using valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable market data.

The carrying amount and estimated fair values of the Group’s non-derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, were as follows:

Fair Value Measurement

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

All fair value adjustments as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, represent assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. In determining fair value, the Group’s financial instruments are separated into two categories: investments in financial assets at FVOCIL and derivative financial instruments.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of December 31, 2025 and 2024:

Non-current Financial Assets

Investments in debt securities or with readily determinable fair values are classified as non-current investments in financial instruments, and are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in consolidated stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.

Non-current financial assets are generally valued using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. Such instruments are classified in Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3, depending on the observability of the significant inputs.

Open-Ended Fund

The Group has an investment in an Open-Ended Fund that has as a primary objective to achieve capital appreciation by using a broad range of strategies through investments in securities, including without limitation stock, debt and other financial instruments, a principal portion of which are considered as Level 1 financial instruments, in telecom, media and other sectors across global markets, including Latin America and other emerging markets. Shares may be redeemed on a quarterly basis at the NAV per share as of such redemption date (see Notes 4 and 9).

Disclosures for Each Class of Assets and Liabilities Subject to Recurring Fair Value Measurements Categorized Within Level 3

The Corporate Finance Department of the Company has established rules for a proper portfolio asset classification according to the fair value hierarchy defined by the IFRS Accounting Standards. On a monthly basis, any new assets recognized in the portfolio are classified according to these criteria. Subsequently, there is a quarterly review of the portfolio in order to analyze the need for a change in classification of any of these assets.

A sensitivity analysis is performed on the Group’s investments with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) in order to obtain a reasonable range of possible alternative valuations. This analysis is carried out by the Corporate Finance Department of the Company.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative financial instruments include swaps, forwards and options (see Notes 2 (w), 4 and 15).

The Group’s derivative portfolio is entirely over-the-counter (“OTC”). The Group’s derivatives are valued using industry standard valuation models; projecting future cash flows discounted to present value, using market-based observable inputs including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and forward and spot prices for currencies.

When appropriate, valuations are adjusted for various factors such as liquidity, bid/offer spreads and credit spread considerations. Such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used. All derivatives are classified in Level 2.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

The majority of the Group’s non-financial instruments, which include the investment in shares of TelevisaUnivision, goodwill, intangible assets, inventories, transmission rights, property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets are not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur (or at least annually in the fourth quarter for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets) such that a non-financial instrument is required to be evaluated for impairment, a resulting asset impairment would require that, the non-financial instrument be recorded at the lower of carrying amount or its recoverable amount.

The impairment test for goodwill involves a comparison of the recoverable amount of each of the Group’s reporting units to its carrying amount, including goodwill. The Group determines the recoverable amount of a reporting unit using the higher between the value in use and the fair value less costs to sell, which utilize significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) within the fair value hierarchy. The impairment test for intangible assets not subject to amortization involves a comparison of the estimated recoverable amount of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. The Group determines the recoverable amount of the intangible asset using a discounted cash flow analysis, which utilizes significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) within the fair value hierarchy. Determining recoverable amount requires the exercise of significant judgment, including judgment about appropriate discount rates, perpetual growth rates, the amount and timing of expected future cash flows for a period of time that normally comprises five years, as well as relevant comparable company earnings multiples for the market-based approach.

Once an asset has been impaired, it is not remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis; however, it is still subject to recoverable amount measurements to test for recoverability of the carrying amount.
